Boa Hierarchy

Been researching and sorting through all the drivel on the internet to come up with the hierarchy of Boas. I am lacking acrantrophis, (for now) but wanted to make sure I had the rest in there. Any help, or corrections is welcome. Especially from some of you smart guys.

Taxonomic Hierarchy of Boas

Class Reptilia Laurenti, 1768 -- Reptiles
Order Squamata Oppel, 1811 --Amphisbaenia, Lizards, Snakes
Suborder Serpentes Linnaeus, 1758 -- Snakes
Infraorder Alethinophidia Nopcsa, 1923
Family Boidae Gray, 1825 -- Boas, Boids
Subfamily Boinae Gray, 1825 --
Genus Boa Linnaeus, 1758 -- Boas
Species Boa Constrictor Linnaeus, 1758 -- Boa Constrictor
Subspecies
Boa constrictor amarali Stull, 1932
Boa constrictor constrictor Linnaeus, 1758
Boa constrictor imperator Daudin, 1803
Boa constrictor longicauda Price and Russo, 1991
Boa constrictor melanogaster Langhammer, 1983
Boa constrictor nebulosa Lazell, 1964
Boa constrictor occidentalis Philippi, 1873
Boa constrictor orophias Linnaeus, 1758
Boa constrictor ortonii Cope, 1878
Boa constrictor sabogae Barbour, 1906


Genus Candoia Gray, 1842 -- Bevel-nosed Boas, Keel-scaled Boas
Genus Corallus Daudin, 1803 -- Neotropical Tree Boas
Genus Epicrates Wagler, 1830 -- Greater Antillean Boas, Rainbow Boas, West Indian Boas
Genus Eunectes Wagler, 1830 -- Anacondas


Anyway, hope I'm not too far off on the way of things. This stuff seems to change so fast it's rediculous.

Thanks for taking a look,
Rick

Here's a link to a pretty good on line resource:

http://www.embl-heidelberg.de/~uetz/...es/Boidae.html

I used this site extensively when I was setting up www.boagenetics.com

YUP! I like that site, and used it quite a bit for most of this info. Pretty extensive data base aint it.
I was just wanting a check cuz they may not be totally up to date. I know some ssp of crotalus have been reclassified, but I didn't notice the change at EMBL.
There is this one guy who I bet would know. He wrote a book not too long ago.

(HINT HINT)
